French General Code of Local Authorities
In forceThe third fraction of the rural solidarity grant is allocated to the first ten thousand communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants or mentioned in I of article L. 2334-22-2, from among those eligible for at least one of the first two fractions of the rural solidarity grant, ranked in descending order of a synthetic index.
This synthetic index is a function of:
a) The ratio between the average per capita financial potential of the communes belonging to the same demographic group and the commune's per capita financial potential;
b) The ratio between the average per capita income of the communes belonging to the same demographic group and the commune's per capita income. The income taken into consideration is the last known reference tax income. The population taken into account is that resulting from the last population census.
The synthetic index is obtained by adding the ratios defined in a and b by weighting the first by 70% and the second by 30%.
The amount allocated to these communes under this fraction is calculated under the conditions provided for in article L. 2334-22.
From 2023, the allocation under this fraction for an eligible commune may be neither less than 90% nor more than 120% of the amount received the previous year.
When a commune ceases to meet the conditions required to benefit from this fraction of the rural solidarity allocation, that commune will receive, as a non-renewable guarantee, an allocation equal to half of the amount it received the previous year.
The necessary sums are taken from the fraction mentioned in the first paragraph of this article.
